Your One True Love Is You!
(Or, "Be The True Love Within Yourself")
The phrase "You Need To Find
True Love" is a fairytale fantasy!
And seeking external validation is an
outer locus of control or, as I call it,
"Outside-Of-Yourselfness." Therefore,
you cannot find "True Love" outside of
yourself, since there is nothing outside
of yourself except for yourself. For, you
are independent in a void forever,
because you are the energy of a void
as a soul, which is why you can only
"Be The True Love Within Yourself."

My Writing About Finding True Love Within Yourself, Version No. 1: The phrase "You Need To Find True Love" is a fairytale fantasy! For, you cannot find "True Love" outside of yourself (which is an outer locus of control or, as I call it, "Outside-Of-Yourselfness"), since there is nothing outside of yourself except for yourself (that is, we are independent in a void forever, because we are the energy of a void as souls), which is why you can only "Be The True Love Within Yourself." –Paul Whiting (written January 11th, 2012, revised March 20th, 2015, revised February 14th, 2022, revised August 23rd, 2022 and revised May 24th, 2023)

My Writing Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "You cannot find 'True Love' outside of yourself, since there is nothing outside of yourself except for yourself, which is why you can only 'Be The True Love Within Yourself.'"
And this poem is based upon a quote from "My Posting Sabbatical, Part 1" that was originally published on my "Small All White in the Forest" and "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I decided to publish some of "My Posting Sabbatical Writing" as blog posts when I republished my old blog posts on my new "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog, which I created in order to have "a place to place all of my best writing in one place!"
And this poem was only published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog.
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
